In this project entitled "Smoking and femininity: hormonal cross-talk in the development of COPD?", you will investigate gender aspects of smoke-induced pulmonary pathophysiology and the underlying molecular mechanisms involved. You will focus on the functional role of the adipo-cytokine leptin, known to play an orchestrating role in pulmonary inflammatory responses, the female sex hormone estrogen and the synergism between leptin and estrogen signalling in smoke-induced lung pathophysiology. . . . → Read More: PhD Studentship in Molecular Life Sciences 2010 @ Maastricht University, Netherlands
